LAMP.

Application filed July 10, 1918.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. Goonnr United 7 a c tizen of the States, and residing at Detroit, in the countyof Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Improved Lamp, of which the following is a specification.

This invention consists in means for ing the glass or lens to the body of the headlight type, and its obj lo a substantially rain and dust tight joint between the lens and lamp body, to provide a positive mounting for the reflector of a lamp of this character whereby the reflector shall be properly positioned without the use of springs, to provide a lamp with a connecting device between the lens and body which will permit of all the parts being readily removed and replaced, and to provide a construction of this character which changeable at minimum cost.

This invention consists, in combination with a cup-shaped lamp body having an external head or rib near itsopen end, of a shaped eflector mounted in said body,

to close the open end of a band extending around the l the end of the body and 1mg; against the outer face and against the external bead on the body.

Many other changes in the details and proportions of this device may be made by those skilled in the building of lamps without departing from the spirit of my invention as set forth in the following claims.

I claim:

1. In a lamp the combination of a body having a circular open end and a circumferential outwardly sloping shoulder adjacent said end, a lens closing said open end, and a locking band extending around the end of the lamp and the edge of the lens and having inwardlv extending flanges at its edges inclined way from each-other, means to draw the ends of the band to gether, one of said flanges engaging the back of said shoulder on the body and the other engaging the front face of the lens to draw the lens toward the body when the ends of the band are drawn together:

2. In a lamp, the combination of a body having a circular open end and a circumferential outwardly sloping shoulder adjacent said end, a lens closing said open end, a locking band extending around the end of the lamp and the edge of the lens and having inwardly extending flanges atits edges inclined away from each other, means to draw the ends o the band together, one of said' flangesengaging the back of said shoulder on the body and the other engaging the front face of the lens to draw the lens toward the body when the ends of the band are drawn together, and a cylindrical strip of yieldable material within the band extending around the circumference of the lens and the end of the body and adapted to be pressed against the edge of the lens.

3. In a lamp, the combination of a cupshaped body having a circular open end and a circumferential outwardly sloping shoulder adjacent thereto, a lens closing said open end, and a locking band extending around the end of the lamp and having overlapping ends and inwardly extending flanges at its edges inclining away from each other, brackets secured to said band near its ends and a screw to draw the brackets together, one of the f anges engaging the shoulder on the body and the other the face of the lens to draw the lens toward the body when the band is drawn together by said screw.
